the peak at ~14,000. These are mountains, the Appalachian Trail is hills, not mountains. Not saying it is easy without a trail, but far easier than the mountains here. There is no crossing without a true pass or canyon.

<p class="MsoNormal">Here in Oregon we have a mountain that sees snow at the 4-5000 foot range only in the dead of winter...2-4000 foot will get it only occasionally. Only above the 6k foot level does it really, really snow (at higher elevations they have
snow year 'round). So, in my experience, there would likely be but little hinderance from that kind of weather.<br>

The length of the Appalachian Trail would be considered Hills in PnP as well as parts of the Sierra Nevada range, for example. Trying to cross some of these ranges in winter would be difficult, even with a proper trail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
